The boat pickup at Agen was great; however for any novices the potential of a baptism of fire in your first few hours with the 4 locks at Agen cannot be understated. Later in the cruise I was very comfortable just floating on the river waiting for locks to be ready; plus the physical challenges of passing mooring ropes up and down in the locks. However, doing that repeatedly in the first few hours was challenging. Can I suggest that a more comfortable pickup point would be Buzet sure Baise., one small point they seem not to have smaller boats for 3/4 persons with a flying bridge. You definitely need a top driving position, internal only are very hard work..

Great service from Emma.

Over all it was a good experience.Here are a few thoughts: For a first time canal boat trip, it's to long from Joigny to Corbigny in 6 days. one day we were cursing for 10 hours. They need better instructions for driving the boat: go slow when approaching the lock, slightly turn the wheel to steer, really concentrate, you need at least four people for your first time. The boat broke down about 1 mile from Corbigny and we lost all power so we could not control the boat! A Locaboat person came out and confirmed the engine was broken. We had to leave the boat there. If we go again we might hire a captain. I guess we don't need to talk over the phone. Let me know if you have any questions.

Sorry I've only put "likely" on the last two questions. Your service was excellent but I meant to book direct with Locaboat, as we have in the past, but got confused as to which website I was looking at! We might well use you for other holidays though. Best Regards, Robin Lennox
